Can't decide between two Intel i5 processors... Worth the diff in price or not?


So I'm in the process of building a new computer, and I've chosen to use a quad core intel i5 processor as my CPU: lots of power for a decent price. But I'm stuck on choosing between two i5s. Both are very similar.

The first costs (on Newegg) $189.99. The second costs $219.99. All of their specs are the same, save for one: The $189.99 processor has an operating frequency of 3.1 GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost) and the $219.99 processor operates at 3.3 GHz (3.7 GHz Turbo-Boost).

So, is .2 GHz in processing power really worth the extra $30?

Here are the processor's store pages:
$189.99 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115074
$219.99 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115072
